Ahmm, Linux (just like UNIX) doesn't have folders, it has directories.

As far as characters in file and directory names go: dunno about Linux,
but in UNIX the name of a file (any file, be it a regular file, a
directory, a symlink, a block or character device node or a socket) may
be up to 255 characters in length and may contain ANY 7-bit ASCII
characters except NUL and '/'.

Permissions have absolutely nothing to do with it: the name and the
permission bits are completely orthogonal.  Furthermore, the permission
bits are part of the i-node and there may be more than one filename (in
the same or in different directories) referring to the same i-node.
